Post any defects you find in the released or beta versions of the ImageMagick software here. Include the ImageMagick version, OS, and any command-line required to reproduce the problem. Got a patch for a bug? Post it here.
When converting from a png to a pdf, /usr/bin/convert seems to add a
type 1 Helvetica font to the pdf, even though there is no text in the
PDF at all. At best, this is unnecessary, generated cruft.
The problem is that the user needs a PDF without fonts (or with the fonts embedded on it), as some publishers need it (like http://www.lulu.com/en/help/index.php?f ... ints_right). Using a PDF without the fonts embedded he is unable to use lulu services, for example.
Is it a workaround to not include the font or a way to embed it, please?
There is no workaround other than patching coders/pdf.c. We will post a patch when time permits. Currently its considered a low priority (the embedded font has been in ImageMagick for 10+ years now and this is the first complaint).
grepping for 11367, and therefore could not tag version. Will set fixed upstream.
